Is this true? Is this a gimmick, or a nugget of hope that all this talk of an economic downturn is just talk? The latest iPhone application, “I am rich” comes in quite pricey at $999.99 to download, yet it does…
…absolutely
nothing.
Now, clearly some Apps are better than others (for an excellent App that doesn’t cost a penny, check out our client Shazam on the iPhone). But if I was after “a work of art with no hidden function at all” as “I am rich” purports itself to be, then I’d rather spend the £500 on a signed photo of Orlando Bloom.
